Oi galera!!! I hope everyone had a great week.
This week was pretty crazy and stressful but it ended super
well...
So in this area we cover another city called Irani which is
super small but there is a branch there. There used to be missionaries there
but now there aren´t. There is a member from my area that drives there every day
for work so we caught a ride with him Tuesday to teach Ana and Luis who are two
kids that weren´t baptized because their families were inactive for a little
while.
On Tuesday we taught Ana and we were talking about a
baptismal date. Her mom said that it had to be Sunday because her dad would
only be in town for that day. So we spent every day going to Irani to teach her
and Luis to be baptized on Sunday.
The house that they use as a chapel doesn´t have a baptismal
font so we got to baptize in the lake!!! Haha it´s winter here so it was pretty
cold but it was a great experience. As I entered the water I was having some
flashbacks to the wakey jakey days.
This week we also taught John with his wife and 3 daughters.
Their story is pretty rough... They moved from São Paulo to live with his mom
while they save some money and find a house. While they were there, John ended
up arguing with his step dad and got a knife pulled on him. So they had to move
out and have been staying in what´s like a better homeless shelter. When we
taught them about prophets, we told them that there was a prophet here on earth
today to guide us. Elder Nobre, being the spiritual giant that he is, promised
them that if they prayed asking if there really was a prophet here on the
earth, they would receive an answer through the Spirit and they would find a
cheap house to rent.
On Sunday when they showed up to church they told us that
they had found a house!! Also John bore his testimony about how he received an
answer through the Spirit! He is seriously the man. Sadly they have to get
legally married to get baptized so we will be working on that.
Also two other investigators; Igor and Kauana bore there
testimonies in testimony meeting!
I know that like John, if we ask Heavenly Father a specific
question He will respond to us through the Spirit!
I´m so thankful and happy to be doing this work! This week
definitely had it´s difficulties, but we never have any reason to get down. I
love you all!!
Sempre fica firme, forte e feliz!
Elder Scheer
